Violetta turned what would have been a 3 star solo visit into a 5 star guided visit! - Due to rain we toured Como & Lugano but skipped Bellinzona. Violetta was very knowledgeable about both towns & their histories. She was recommended by a friend who used her and I recommend her as well. She’s very pleasant to be with and made our day visiting Como & Lugano (both wonderful towns!!!) a highlight of our trip despite the rain!

An unforgettable experience - The tour was much more than what I expected. The sights are breathtaking with a rich history. There is so much to see and explore. The tour guide, Viola was absolutely excellent, very knowledgeable and kept everything very interesting. I wish I would have had more time to have spent in the castles, which are one of a kind.

Lugano and Bellinzona - I have had a pleasure to have such an experienced and knowledgeable guide Violetta during our visit to Switzerland in April 2021. She has made me feel very warm and comfortable with her presence as well as our tour being very interesting and remarkable. She is a real professional with a lot of knowledge about the place and has a passion to what she is doing. Booking a tour with a guide making it unique and allowing you to save precious time during your tour and visit the main attractions with stories only locals can know and tell you. I would definitely recommend to book a tour with Violetta, because that way you will know and see more than you would on your own.
